Operations and Logistics Partnership Questions

Describe how logistics and operations constraints shape feasible product solutions and how to partner effectively with operations and supply chain teams. Topics include common operational constraints such as fleet or courier capacity, routing and dispatch limitations, time windows and geographic density, handoff complexity, and regulatory or labor considerations. Explain how to quantify constraints with operational metrics such as on time delivery rate, pickup to delivery time, driver utilization, and idle time, and how to use simulation or capacity modeling to stress test product changes. Articulate design principles for reducing operational complexity, approaches for piloting solutions and creating runbooks, cost trade offs between user experience and operational efficiency, and best practices for collaborative decision making and shared success metrics with operations.
